JJJ, Luke, KR post grad playing opportunity thread

[Herman Cain]

This thread is chronicling the efforts of JJJ, Luke and Katin Reinhardt as they try to play at the next level.

JJJ is clearly working on shoring up his mid range game.

I think Katin has gone back to California and is working out.

Luke is probably deciding what the appetizers will be at his wedding. After being in the 54-60 range all last year on the mock drafts he has fallen out.

In the meantime the field for the Portsmouth Invitational will be announced April 10th. I  think it would be a stretch for any of our guys to make the NBA combine.

Luke has already been invited to Portsmouth

Yep, it was announced a while ago. Unfortunately, I don't think he has the neck thickness to be NBA material.

JJJ to D league, Katin to France, Italy or japan. Fish to eastern europe.

This sounds about right.

But I say that as a guy who was stunned Buycks and Crawford had NBA careers.

Fischer to Portsmith will be a disaster, will be worst player there.  Hope it doesnt hurt future MU players from getting an invite

Didn't you already start a former players thread months ago?

I think Luke will be playing in the D-league.

I have personally watched Dennis Clifford from Boston College have a very nice D-league season.  There was even talked of him being called-up until he injured his ankle.

When you look at Clifford's stats to Luke's they are almost identical (FG pct, FT pct & blocks).  The difference, Clifford had more rebounds...but Luke had more points in his 4-year career.

They have identical builds.

I think Luke makes good $ in Europe or other international league

+1

Considering how Luke's hair game is always on point, he's a virtual lock for Europe.

Katin will make the most money in the group.  Should go straight to a good European team in a good European league.  Can shoot / can handle and will play better with Euro style floor spacing. 
Luke to D-League, then fade to black after 1-2 years. 
JJJ is interesting.  Fringe D-League player but more likely to go someplace where guys get paid to play pick-up ball like Philippines, or maybe a 2nd level Euro league.

Do they have identical bum shoulders?

Not trying to be mean, but if I was a GM or coach, I would worry about that.

Fischer won't go for the D league. He will go to a middle of the road euro team and make decentish money. JJJ will go for the low pay d league for the NBA chance.

Trump?

Please stop, Newsie

[WarriorFan]

The only leagues left where bigs who can't shoot are welcome are the NBA, the D League, and some really bad overseas leagues.  That's why Fischer won't last long as a pro.  Not sure what his degree is, but you could make more money delivering newspapers than in the D league.

I tend to agree about Katin. Long Euro career awaits.

That was my thought regarding d-league.  Would a team want to use a spot on him considering his shoulder history.
